Short stature is a common growth disorder, and one of the types is called growth hormone deficiency, which is caused by insufficient production of growth hormone by the pituitary gland.

His story is not only a story about football, but also tells us that if we suffer from short stature, we need to intervene in time, cooperate with the doctor's ** plus appropriate exercise.
Hospitals usually use the following methods to detect if the height is normal:
1.Bone age assessment and height: The doctor will take X-rays of the child's wrist bones and assess the bone age according to the development of the bones to determine the child's growth and future height. If the difference between bone age and chronological age is more than two years, there may be growth problems.
2.Provocation test: Your doctor may do a provocative test to tell if your child is deficient in growth hormone. This test usually involves injecting a drug or compound into your child to stimulate the pituitary gland to release growth hormone and to see how the growth hormone responds after provocation. This can help determine if your child has a growth hormone deficiency.
It's important to note that not all children with height problems need to receive growth hormone**. Growth hormone** is usually given to patients who have been diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, and the doctor will evaluate whether growth hormone is appropriate for the patient, taking into account the patient's physical condition, family history, provocation tests, and other factors. In addition, there may be a certain amount of growth hormone and therefore requires professional evaluation and judgment from a doctor. For most children, conservative methods (such as diet, exercise, etc.) can also effectively catch up with height.
